My initial thoughts on EA Active

I like the thigh strap - it seems pretty sturdy.

The resistance band seems a little weak - but it works. I figure I have some other ones and these will do until I build up a little more muscle.

The workout - I did NOT start the 30 day challenge yet. I just did a workout that it had. What it had me do (I might leave a few out and get the order wrong):
jog
squats
back row
lunges
front row
back lunges
jog - kick backs
squats
back row
lunges
front row
boxing
jog - jog, kick backs, knee ups
bicep curls
and another re stance workout - forget what it's called but you bring your elbows up and out.


It kept me moving - and had a calorie counter - I did not wear my polar F6 to see how it matched up. My work out did NOT need the balance board. I did work up a sweat and I had it on the easy level.


INITIAL LIKES and DISLIKES:
Likes: Worked up a sweat, helps accurate track your motion (at least for me), motivating, corrects you for doing an exercise too fast, tracks your workouts

Dislikes: resistance band is flimsy, having to keep swapping between thigh strap and resistance band.


Please keep in mind - I did 1 workout on easy!!
